#3 Veteran's Day Thank You from your SICbro2020
Many thanks to our Veteran's on this Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, Veteran's Day. I'm proud to march alongside so many Friendly Sons who are also in the military. And thankful for the many who have given their lives and limbs for the freedoms we take for granted. I tell some of my family's military history in this video, along with a couple songs for good measure. Enjoy, and see you on Friday at Imperial House!

It's official. We are ON for this coming Friday at Imperial Steakhouse in Banker's Hill. It starts early at 4pm - I'll be playing piano and singing some old standards until about 8:30. Let's make it a great Smilin' Irishman kickoff event.
